Jamie, I'm running Premiere Pro 2.0, so I don't know the differences in the program interface that you might encounter. In 2.0, when you open up the capture window, there is a setting right at the top of the Logging tab that can be set to capture audio and video, just video, or just audio. You might want to check and see if you have that option in 1.0 and if its set to "audio and video".

If you're sure you have the capture settings correct, and you still don't have audio,keep in mind what AVI stands for: "Audio/Video Interleave". If you're capturing from your camera with the capture settings set for both audio and video, then the audio has got to be there, you're just not hearing it. Try bringing a clip either into Premiere, or better yet an audio editing program, and expand the track so you can see the wave form of the audio track. If no audio was recorded, then it should just be a flat line. If audio was recorded, you should see a wave form there, and it means that for some reason your computer just isn't putting out the audio signal.

Older versions of Premiere captured audio and video as separate files... not as one AVI file with audio and video interleaved. I'm not sure about Premiere Pro 1.0. As mentioned, under the "logging" tab you need to be sure you have Premiere set to capture "Audio and Video".

Next, Premiere has a setting for audio playback that can be confusing... under the "Project" menu, choose "Project Settings ... General", then press the "Playback Settings" button. Here you can set the audio to play on your DV device (your camcorder), or on your desktop. If this is set to your DV device, audio won't play back on your PC, and it can appear that you didn't capture any audio even when you did.

For audio playback you need to check your Windows sound settings (through the control panel). There are different sources for sound playback. You need to be sure that the volume control for WAV/MP3 playback is not muted, and that the volume slider is up at least halfway... otherwise you won't hear the audio playback from Premiere.

First, Premiere captures audio and video as separate files... not as one AVI file with audio and video interleaved.Tom

Premiere does capture a video file with audio as a single AVI file. The settings tab in the capture window allows you to specify a separate capture location for captured video, and captured audio. However, by captured audio it means audio that you specifically captured separately from video capture, such as an audio only capture from your camcorder or recording a voice over, for instance. Before you post back, go ahead and set your video capture and your audio capture to two separate locations, then capture some video with audio. The AVI file with be captured, WITH AUDIO, in the folder specified for video. Try deleting your "video" file that you captured, and then tell me that you found the audio still present in the folder you specified for audio capture. Nope.

Premiere has always captured audio and video to separate files... at least for me it has, in the past (up to version 6.5). I'm sure of it... all my raw captured files were separate. I now realize that for Premiere Pro 1.5 you are correct... even with the audio and video file locations set to different directories the audio and video remained interleaved with the video file... thanks for the tip.

So the question remains... is the audio missing, or there?

Jaime - If you right-click the file in Windows, and choose "properties", the dialog box that appears will show you if the file includes audio.

If the audio is there, but you can't hear it... check the "playback settings", or check the volume in your sound control panel for "wav/mp3".

Premiere has been able to capture video and audio seperately if you have a Matrox board installed; if you were running premiere 6.5 on a RTX 100 or earlier (Avi with WAV). After this Matrox decided to capture an interleaved video/audio file (1 AVI).

If you run Premiere software only, then the audio and video has always been captured as an interleaved video/audio file (1 AVI).
